Geek & Gorgeous 101 C-Glow

[Wallenberg]

15% vitamin C, ferulic acid and vitamin E. I don't know how much it has ferulic acid and vitamin c. They advertise it as being fresh. It has some positive reviews on Reddit's skincareaddiction subreddit. Quite affordable. I will try this.

It seems to be quite decent for the price tbh, I brought some myself which came yesterday, and you can see from the serum that there is no oxidisation so its definitely made free to order unlike some similar solutions I've brought.

I might send them an email actually inquiring for the specific ingredient %s atleast for the acids, as its not on the bottle.

Do it. Some skincare companies add just a small amount of effective ingredients just to be able to say that the product contains them even if the amount is too small to make a difference.

I'll post the response here so everyone can see what they say hopefully they respond with something decent instead of its patented or smth.

Just be careful with this kind of vitamin C bottle. Bottles like this usually tend to make vitamin C oxidize long before the bottle is finished, u need to be extra careful.

I will keep it in the fridge. Redditors said it lasts for several months. I have used vitamin C in similar bottle and they lasted for months too.

My skincare routine:

AM: vitamin C, sunscreen.
PM: cleanse, tretinoin, niacinamide, moisturize

1-2 times a week glycolic acid in AM, no vit C, no tretinoin in PM.

is it bad if the vit c serum also contains hyaluronic acid?

I found one I can buy that is 20% Vit C is that good? I cant find a percentage for the one I bought so I'm assuming its not high.

What a pointless response wont even tell me the concentrations.

Hi ---------,

Thanks for trying our C-Glow. :I)


We have created C-Glow to be a simple, budget-friendly option for a light, water-based Ascorbic Acid product (15 % of ascorbic, you can read about the product in detail here )).

We do not disclose the Ferulic Acid and Tocopherol amount but would like to be transparent with the fact that we are not using the ratio researched and patented by SkinCeuticals, a company we greatly respect. We can also say that the formula has a good amount of Ferulic in it, and a small amount of Tocopherol, much less than the 1%.

Hope this helps.

That answer wasn't helpful at all.

It is cheap, so I will try it and probably keep using it, but this answer doesn't increase my trust in them.

I use it and I prefer skinceuticals vitamin c e, expensive tho

 

[Wallenberg]

I tried it. It's transparent, which is good. It stung only a little bit. I will keep using it. Ferulic acid and vitamin E are down near the end in list of ingredients, so there isn't a lof them. Shame.

Have you been using it consistently? Noticed any improvements in skin?

I've had a bottle of this for a few months and tbh the effects are negligible I don't think it was worth the $170
